"Fuckin sick bastard", Cosette said angrily as she slammed her mouse key on her laptop harder than she needed to do. She just logged off of My Space and was pissed that there are no intelligent people online to talk to. Cosette Gills is a nut job all her own. She's a goth, around 5"7', black shoulder length hair with royal blue streaks and pure black eyes. She's half black/italian,half white and chinese. She has a slender figure and long legs. Her parents tell her that she could be a model if she got off her ass and did some sit-ups to work off some minor fat on her stomache. Not her thing though. She wants to be a cartoonist.......a rock star even, if anyone thought that she had enough talent. But not much in the face department. She wasn't ugly or anything like that, it just that she has an acne problem that refuses to leave her alone, despite the Proactive she uses. It gets most of her acne but the scars of all the pimples she's busted haven't gone away yet. Because of that she is super sensitive about her face.She never lets anyone touch her face, not even her parents. She believes that her face will never get her HER prince charming. So she tries to concempate for that by wearing skimpy gothic clothing. Cosette closed her laptop and sighed. she had to get ready to go to school. She wasn't looking forward to putting up with her ex-boyfriends shit. 'he never has anything nice to say',Cosette thought and she was usually right. Before she knew it she was in her car, a 1990 black Nissan 240sx, decked out with japanese NISMO gear thanks to a pshycotic friend that works at the Nissan Dealership. She thought about how her friend helped her buy all those parts and she smiled as she shifted gears and kept driving, right into the parking lot of the college.
*******
Class was boring. Cosette walked out of her japanese class and straight to the school cafeteria. when she walked inside nobody was there. 'that prick must of tooken them again', she thought reffering to her ex taking her friends again. So she decided to go home. she wanted to check her e-mail and watch some foamy cartoons. As soon as she got in her car. her cell phone started to vibrate from inside her bag. "Please dont ring 'My Humps' ",Cosette glared at her cell. She had purposly set that ringtone for her ex only. She was relieved when she heared her phone ring 'Wings of a Butterfly' by HIM. she picked up the phone and saw that Sae ra was calling. Cosette eagerly opened the phone.
".......yyyyyyyyeeeeeessssssss?"
".........Hello!!!"
"Hi Sae ra. whats up?"
" Nothing I'm bored, you?"
"nothin just got out of class. what are you up to?"
"nothing much......Derek and I are at Brians. it's packed today. wanna come down?"
"...................nnnnnuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh I don't know........."
" awwww come on. pppppppppppppppplllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"AH!! my ear!........alright alright I'll go. I'm gonna go home and change first"
" YAY!!!!!!!!!! okay see you later bye!!!!!!!!"
Cosette hung up and turned the car on intent on driving home and checking her My Space to see if the Gorillaz or HIM ever returned her messages or if that sick fuck she spoke to earlier had responded to her.
**************
Cosette walked in her door way and turned her computer on. She walked into her bathroom and turned the shower on and went to start up the internet and log on to myspace.Then went on take a shower.
A moment later she walked out dressed in a skimpy gothic nurse-like outfit. she sat down in front of her laptaop. and went straight to HIM's my space page. When she scrolled down there were thousands of fans commenting and sending messages to the goth band. She clicked on send a message. it took her to a near blank page with a small blank box for her to type in.Cosette typed in the subject of her message as "Dark Light" as she was listening to the song at the time and it was stuck in her head.The message read as such,
Hello Ville, Burton, Mige, Linde, and Gas
I wrote a poem for you. I hope you like it
Your warm arms around me
like sand of the hour glass
like the feelings that hurt me
and the tides of the mass
Death is so beautiful
with the winter of the moon
but what only makes it so
is that I will die here with you
sorry it's so sappy.none of my ex's ever said i was
pretty so it makes me very ensecure about my face
Loves,
-Nii
Cosette sends the message to HIM and signs off, she turns off the computer and heads out to Brians for the rest of the day.
***********************
It's around 8:30 pm and Cosette is just getting home. she's anxious to get back on the computer and check her e-mail and of course her my space, and she does. Then she logs in to my space again and there are three new letters. She checks them. two were from her cousin and one was from......................HIM!!!
"Holy Shit!", she said aloud knowing that no body heared that,"they e-mailed me back?!?!?!?!?!?" she quikly clicked on the message and read the contents slowly as if to savor the moment. It was a message from Ville Valo himself.
Dear Nii,
I love your poem. It's so quaint, passionate,
and simple. If I may, can I have your permission to use
your poem in a future song. I will, of course, give you
all rights and royalties to the lyrics. If you want to
continue this conversation I will be online for another
hour. Afterwards me and the guys are going out for
drinks and I do not know when I'll be back in to
speak to you.
Love
-Ville
Cosette's heart leapt in excitement. Ville wanted to use her poem in his next song. she quikly checked her freind page to see if he was still online............and sure enough he still was. she quickly went to HIM's instant messager and replied as fast as she could type.
Nii_Princess: Hello HIM
Ville: is this Nii?
Nii_Princess: wow! is this really Ville Valo?
Ville: yes it is. Please,my dear call me Ville
Nii_Princess: oh I'm sorry
Ville: it's okay. no need to be so humble
Nii_Princess: well it's that I've never met
you before and I'm just
naturally shy
Ville: why so shy?
Nii_Princess: well...........It kinda started
with the fact that I'm very
insecure about my face.
I kinda have a bad acne
problem
Ville: I doubt that it is THAT bad
Nii_Princess: well...it's not the acne thats
bad,it's the scars
Ville: do not worry. I have acne scars on my chin
that no one really sees because of the
wonderful make-up team we have.
Nii_Princess: wow...your lucky
Ville: not as much as you think, my dear.
constantly being hounded by every
woman on God's green Earth. It's
hard to pick a mate that actually
loves me
Nii_Princess: I see. that must be tiersome
oh yeah! the poem. you can
use it if you want. You don't
have to give me any rights to
it. It's all yours
Ville: oh no. I couldn't. I have to give you rights
to your property. It would be criminal of
me to take this from you
Nii_Princess: don't feel shame. I wrote it for you
any way. and besides I'm a fan.
not one of those sick groupie fans
that harass bands 24/7. your only
human, right?
Ville: ..........
At that moment Ville paused. He had never heard a fan speak to him in such a calm context before . She didn't up and wet her panties at the mere sound of his name, she didn't attack him like every other girl has. She treated him the the same way she would any other person she would see on the street............normal. He replied back in the same kind of fashion.
Nii_Princess: Ville? you okay? are you still there?
Ville: I'm sorry.do forgive me. I spaced out there for a moment
Nii_Princess: sure no problem
Ville: If you don't mind me asking...what is your real name?
Nii_Princess: It's Cosette
Ville: Cosette? thats a beautiful name
Nii_Princess: it dosen't suit me. I don't live up
to such a beautiful title
Ville: nonsense. send a picture of what you
look like right now
Nii_Princess: um.....okay
Cosette took a full body picture of her on her digital camera and uploaded it on to her computer and sent it to Ville. Ville studied the picture closely. She wasn't lying. She did have a lot of ance scars, but none the less her face was still beautiful, and so was the rest of her. She was still clad in her nurse outfit in the picture so Ville could see her shaply figure. Her slender frame was beautiful. He also loved her shoulder length black and royal blue straight hair, and her light mocha colored skin that for some reason, matched her very well. Her acne scars were minimal compared to the beauty the rest of her features held.Ville found himself falling in love with her picture.
Ville: Cosette, my dear. Your beautiful. how old is this picture?
Nii_Princess: I just took it a few minutes ago on
my digital camera
Ville: Really? but your beautiful. and I'm not just
saying that to make you feel better. you really
are
Nii_Princess: thank you......
Ville: your very welcome, my dear. Any
way I must find a way to repay you
for the beautiful poem. If there is
anything you want you go ahead
and tell me
Nii_Princess: well....can you come out
to Honolulu, Hawaii
for a concert?
Ville: ..........
Ville: ..........I've got a better idea. I'll come
out to Hawaii for a concert and It'll be
in your honor.
Nii_Princess: WHAT?!?!?!?! for me?
Ville: yes. as thanks for letting me use your
poem
Nii_Princess: Ville.....thats so sweet. I can't ask
you to do that for me
Ville: on the contrery. you deserve it. I'm sorry but I
must be off. I'll e-mail the dates to you next
week, okay?
Nii_Princess: um.......okay...and Ville?
Ville: yes, Cosette?
Nii_Princess: thank you
Ville: your welcome. sweet dreams,my dear.
<Ville has logged off>
Nii_Princess: good night, Ville
Cosette logged off and began to tear up. A rock star she admired was going to do a concert in her home town in her honor, and he said she was beautiful. Even her ex-boyfriends never called her beautiful. She wipped away her tears and closed her laptop. She couldn't wait to get the e-mail from Ville in a week from today.
**********************
"It's like time is going by slowly since I last spoke to Ville", Cosette said getting impatient. She was at home staring at her computer, looking at her friends page on her my space.She was looking for HIM to say that they were online.It's been a week since she last spoke to him and if they didn't come on soon she was about to go insane. It was 12:45 at night and she was wired off of 25 packets of Pop rocks and 2 cans of Pepsi............she was far from ready to go to sleep. Cosette has also ignored every phone call she got that day." lets see.....7missed calls from Saru to go with him and Akemi to the movies, 4 missed calls from Sae ra to go to Brians again,9 missed calls from that fat sorry excuse of an exboyfriend yelling at me for ignoring him all day, and 2 missed calls from Toji asking if I wanted to go drifting up on tantalis tonight",she thought aloud and apologizing in her head.She looked away from the laptop and guzzled down a few more pop rocks and a sip of more pepsi. when she looked back on her laptop and almost sprays her latop with soda. HIM was onlline and there was a letter in her mail box. Cosette quickly checked it,
Hello Cosette,
Here are the dates, my dear.
June 22nd till June 26th
do you want to chat?
-Ville
Cosette waisted no time and went straight to HIM's page and clicked on his instant messager.
Nii_Princess: Ville?
Ville: Hello, did you get my message?
NIi_Princess: yes i did. thank you. did you know
that June 24th is my birthday?
Ville: really? it is? well then this should make your
birthday all the more enjoyable
Nii_Princess: thank you Ville
Ville: Is it too much to ask if you could meet
us at the airport?
Nii_Princess: no. as a matter a fact i would be
honored
Ville: great! our flight comes in at 11:30 am
on thursday morning at terminal T3
Nii_Princess: okay I'll remember that
Ville: it's 8:30 in the morning here in Helsinki.
what time is it in Hawaii now?
Nii_Princess: it almost 1:15 am
Ville: you should rest
Nii_Princess: yeah.I think I should. well I'll see
you and the band in 2 days, Ville.
good night. try and rest too.
Ville: of course. If I don't speak to you again before my
flight I will say goodnight, my lovely.
<Nii_Princess has logged off>
Ville found himself getting emotional. It's not like he was engaged to someone else.It's just that he has never had this kind of attachment to a fan before. She was special to him, in some informal kind of way.She was beautiful, smart, likeable, affectionate, and (most of all) liked his music. Even though she is about 7 years apart from him, but he didn't care. Gas walked pass Ville on the bed and saw what he was typing on Ville's private laptop.
Ville: goodnight, my love........
"Ville, you talking to that Cosette girl today?", Gas put one hand on Ville's bare shoulder to alert him that he was watching him. Ville jumped slightly with shock.
"oh! um.....yeah. She just logged off"
"you really like this girl,don't you? you were never like this with any of the other groupies before"
" Please, don't call her that.She's not a groupie.I feel something with her. She's not like those other grils who just wanted to shag a rock star"
Gas smiled,and looked another direction as Burton, and Linde walked into the room.Ville looked at Burton as if it were christmas morning.
"did you pick up the tickets for Honolulu,Burt?", Ville asked.Burton could almost hear the anticpation in his voice.
" yeah. I got them.we're leaving in 6 hours", Burton smiled and started to walk into the next room where Mige was already packing his things. Ville turned around and stared at his now blank laptop. He had a sleepy, dreamy, tired smile on his face. He then looked outside the window at the scene of Helsinki at 9:00 am in the morning. Poor Ville hasn't slept in 37 hours and he wasnt going to get any sleep for another 14 more.
"good.........I can't wait to see her", Ville said falling asleep slowly.
**********on the other side of the world**************
Cosette was getting ready for bed. She was so excited to know that in 2 days, Ville Valo, himself and the entire band HIM was coming to do a concert for her, and Ville personally asked her to pick him up at the airport. She tried to find a way to fall asleep around all the pop rocks she ate......and she still couldn't get over that Ville kept calling her 'my dear'. she loved it. she even told all her friends about her talking to Ville, and now she was going to tell them that she gets the honor of meeting them at the airport. She finally found her sleep and her eyes drifted closed listening to 'Join me in Death'.
*********** skipping ahead to the good stuff**********
"Hurry up Akemi-chan!!!!", Cosette yelled, running way ahead of her and Sae ra. They were at the airport and already 12 minutes late meeting up with Ville. "are you sure your meeting the REAL HIM?, Cosette?", Sae ra asked while catching up with Cosette. Cosette was clad in a spagetti strapped (more like five straps) royal blue tang top, shotest of the short black mini skirt, and black and blue thi hi's. She was also wearing her super long black gloves and two necklaces (one was a choker with Jack skelington's head and the other was both of the HIM "You're My Haven in Life and Death" promise rings on a thin silver chain).She was dressed in her finest so if it wasn't Ville that stepped off that plane somebody was getting nutted. Sae ra was wearing a rainbow colored 3/4 sleeve shirt, short kahki skirt, and white high heels. Akemi was also wearing a black micro mini skirt, a bright pink corset, and a Armani Exchange black jacket with a keychain of a character from School Rumble on the zipper tag. They looked like the ethnical Charle's Angels (Akemi:the classy one,Sae ra: the peppy one,and Cosette: the gothic one) running through the airport and finally making it to Terminal T3.
When they got there the flight had just landed. Akemi found out that the flight had been delayed for several minutes so they were technically on time. The three girls sighed of relief and sat down together on the window seal. The girls saw the plane pull up to the connecting bridge. Cosette was hyperventalating. This was the first time that she was gonna be this close to a celeberty that she really loved (well...except for Johnny Depp)." This is the T3 terminal from Helsinki to Honolulu,right?" Sae ra hugged her to calm her down. "calm down,Co-chan", Sae ra let her go and looked at Akemi," He'll be here" . Cosette calmed down a little and let her breathing rest as she saw people coming off the plane. Every body that came off the plane flocked to loved ones all around and left but for some reason, it seemed like more people were coming. "Does that seem odd that more people are coming and less are leaving?", Akemi asked. Sae ra stared as what seemed as the last of the people were getting off the plane,"yeah that IS weird".Cosette started to get dissapointed. the last of the people were getting off the plane and she still didnt see any of the band members or Ville. She was starting to give up hope. She looked at Sae ra and Akemi, who also seemed slightly dissapointed standing infront of the gate, "do you think the paparazzi knows that-", Cosette stopped. behind Akemi and Sae ra, Ville, Burton, Linde, Mige, and Gas walked out of the bridge. "Ville!", Cosette yelled. Ville instantly looked up and saw her and her two friends on either side of her. The three girls ran up to them, about two feet apart from them, just bearly breaking personal space boundaries. Ville smiled at the girl in the center and stared into her eyes."Cosette?", Ville asked quietly. she smiled back and started tearing up. "Ville?", Cosette replied. Ville quickly dropped all of his lugage and ran up to her and wrapped her in his arms.
CLICK!!! CLICK!!!
Cosette almost fainted. Ville was hugging her. VILLE VALO WAS HUGGING HER. she couldn't believe it and he smelt so nice. She couldn't help but smell him. He had the scent of an angel (or what she thought an angel would smell like).She closed her eyes and let the tears run down her cheecks. Ville held her closer. 'She's more beautiful in person', Ville thought and he couldn't help but smell her too. She was wearing Care Bear purfume that smelt like strong french vanilla. Ville has never smelt anything like that before. It was intoxicating. He fought the urge to nibble at her neck. 'She smells like the falling rain', Ville thought as he put his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes, silently praying that he could stay like this forever with her.
CLICK!!! CLICK!!!
Ville finally let her go after a three second hug. Cosette's friends walked up to her and Ville and the rest of the band. "Ville, Mige, Burton, Gas, and Linde these are my girl friends, Sae ra in the rainbow colors and Akemi in the black jacket", Cosette walked up and introduced the girls. Sae ra walks up to Ville and giggles." Hello, beany guy", Sae ra says. Everybody starts laughing,even Ville. Burton, Gas, Linde, and Mige introduced themselves to Sae ra and Akemi.
CLICK!!! CLICK!!!
The girls and the guys heard the clicking sound for the sixth time and it was beginning to bug them.They turned around really quickly and said in unision.
" WHAT THE FU-!!!!!", everyone turned around in shock as they saw a bunch of cameras, reporters, and screaming fans. Ville's face dropped. He was afraid that this would happen. He was hoping to come into Hawaii quietly but it didn't look like that was going to happen. He quickly grabbed his lugage and grabbed Cosette's arm.
"Time to go.....now", Ville clamped down on Cosette' hand as he ran and she darted after him. Linde grabbed Sae ra and put her over his shoulder, picked up his bags and ran after Ville. Burton picked up Akemi and did the same. Sae ra flinched and reminded herself not to tell her boyfriend that another guy just touched her and was running away with her. Akemi was put on Burton's back and they ran not too far behind Ville, who was really close to the baggage claim. The Reporters, fans and camera men were not to far away. Cosette started to stumble. "Ville! what about all your other bags?". Ville gave her a quick smile as he ran and pulled her up everytime she stumbled,"don't worry. They'll send it to our hotel room". The group just made it to the airport exit and saw that there was a white limosiune taxi (those are common in Hawaii) and Ville and Cosette jumped into the back seat as fast as they could. Linde, Akemi, Mige, Burton, Sae ra, and Gas all pilled in just in time before the paparazzi had a chance to take anymore pictures of them.
"to the Double Tree Alana,my good sir", Gas asked the taxi driver. He didn't reply he just drove off.
In the back of the limo the seating arrangements were Ville, Cosette, Gas, Sae ra, Akemi, Burton, Linde, and Mige. there was an akward silence as the girls tried to figure out why the guys picked them up and ran out of the airport like the million man march..........then everybody in the back just started laughing. The rest of the ride was the band getting to know the girls a little better and a few HIM sing-a-longs all the way to the hotel that was on the outskirts of Waikiki.
They arrive at the Double Tree Alana. they all step out of the limo and pay the driver. the group tries to hurry and get to thier room as incinspicuessly as possible. They arrive in room 66 and lay their stuff down on the floor in the doorway of the hotel room. Ville flops face first on one of the two beds in the conjoining two suites. Akemi sat in a chair near the window that overlooked Diamond Head. Cosette sat next to Ville who had his face burried in the soft blankets on the bed. Sae ra, Mige,Linde, and Gas walked through the door that conjoins the two suites, checking out the second room. Burton started moving all their things to their respective places. Akemi got up and helped him. Sae ra walked back into the other room and poked Ville in the side. " so when are you guys doing the concert?", Sae ra stopped poking him just to see his reaction. Ville lifted his head and smiled. "on Cosette's birthday", Ville turned and looked at Cosette who had a face full of suprise. "is it really, Ville?",Cosette asked, unaware of the situation. Before Ville could answer, Burton replied," yep. just for you. We all agreed to it when Ville told us when your birthday was". Cosette was so happy. She ran to Burton and hugged him with such an impact that he fell over on his back on the floor. "thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!" , Cosette let him go. Sae ra and Akemi looked at her and cheered, "aw Co-chan!! your so lucky!!!!". Akemi smiled then instantly remembered something. "Oh! Co, Sae! we have class in 15 min. we better go". Sae ra and Cosette looked at their watches and freaked out. they quickly grabbed their bags and headed for the door.Gas walked out of the other room and glanced at the fleeing females,"you gals going already? do you need a ride?Linde and Ville could drop you" .Sae ra shook her head, "thats okay,Gas. We're taking my car. thanks though". the girls started walking out the door and said their goodbyes to the guys.Cosette was the last one out the door,"Bye guys! bye Ville". Ville stared at her, unable to blink. He didn't want her to go. She made him feel whole. Even if she was only going to class for a couple of hours, even though he would see her again tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that. He knew that he would miss her too much. Ville jumped up from the bed and grabbed Cosette's wrist just before the door closed, cutting him off from her. " Cosette"
"yes?", Cosette replied in shock.
"would you and your friends like to spend the afternoon with me later on today?"
Cosette smiled a partially confused yet school girl smile," won't you be busy later on today?"
"absoluty not, my dear", Ville said, sounding like a count.
"then sure. We all get out of class at 2:00 at KCC"
Ville's smile was barely consealing his joy on the inside,"alright I'll see you then".He let her arm go and let her leave. The rest of the band was unaware that he wanted to meet with the girls by himself until he spoke to Cosette just a moment ago. Ville stood there at the door. He didn't move, didn't flinch, he just stood there. Behind him, Burton sat in same chair Akemi sat in earlier, Mige and Gas sat on the bed, and Linde walked up to Ville who looked like he was staring at the door. He put a hand on Ville's shoulder and shook him slightly,"Hey Ville,you-", he stopped. he could hear quiet sobs coming from Ville. 'is Ville crying?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!', Linde asked mentally. he looked around to see Ville's face and saw tears running down his face that were bearly visable due to the beanie Ville was wearing and the fact that it pushed his hair into his face quite a bit. Linde backed off quietly and walked away and started talking to the other band members, and also lured them into the other room so that Ville could sort out his feelings in peace. Ville already knew what Linde was doing and silently thanked him.He had the entire room to himself as soon as he heared Mige closed the door.He couldn't get Cosette out of his head. He wanted her. No one else.Just her.She gave him a warmth that he had never had before. Without her, Ville felt cold and dead inside. No other girls made him feel that way, especially when he first met them. It felt like every song he ever sang, he sang them for her.He had sang so many songs about death, but none about dying alone........none about how he was feeling right now.'All other girls I met wither away in comparison to her',he thought. Cosette really was someone special to him and the very thought of losing her to anyone else killed him. He felt a deep pain in his chest, like a spiritual stab to his heart. Another tear traced a crytaline path from his stunning emerald green eyes, down his pale face. He walked away from the door and grabbed his guitar that he packed away. He walked to the windows and closed the blinds, covering the room in complete darkness. He sat in the chair near the window and started singing and playing 'Heartache Every Moment' and 'The Sacrament' by acuostic guitar over and over until he slowly fell asleep with the guitar in his arms. Finally, Ville was able to get some rest for his sorely troubled mind and heart while a single tear rested at his chin.

"Fuckin sick bastard", Cosette said angrily as she slammed her mouse key on her laptop harder than she needed to do. She just logged off of My Space and was pissed that there are no intelligent people online to talk to. Cosette Gills is a nut job all her own. She's a goth, around 5"7', black shoulder length hair with royal blue streaks and pure black eyes. She's half black/italian,half white and chinese. She has a slender figure and long legs. Her parents tell her that she could be a model if she got off her ass and did some sit-ups to work off some minor fat on her stomache. Not her thing though. She wants to be a cartoonist.......a rock star even, if anyone thought that she had enough talent. But not much in the face department. She wasn't ugly or anything like that, it just that she has an acne problem that refuses to leave her alone, despite the Proactive she uses. It gets most of her acne but the scars of all the pimples she's busted haven't gone away yet. Because of that she is super sensitive about her face.She never lets anyone touch her face, not even her parents. She believes that her face will never get her HER prince charming. So she tries to concempate for that by wearing skimpy gothic clothing. Cosette closed her laptop and sighed. she had to get ready to go to school. She wasn't looking forward to putting up with her ex-boyfriends shit. 'he never has anything nice to say',Cosette thought and she was usually right. Before she knew it she was in her car, a 1990 black Nissan 240sx, decked out with japanese NISMO gear thanks to a pshycotic friend that works at the Nissan Dealership. She thought about how her friend helped her buy all those parts and she smiled as she shifted gears and kept driving, right into the parking lot of the college.
*******
Class was boring. Cosette walked out of her japanese class and straight to the school cafeteria. when she walked inside nobody was there. 'that prick must of tooken them again', she thought reffering to her ex taking her friends again. So she decided to go home. she wanted to check her e-mail and watch some foamy cartoons. As soon as she got in her car. her cell phone started to vibrate from inside her bag. "Please dont ring 'My Humps' ",Cosette glared at her cell. She had purposly set that ringtone for her ex only. She was relieved when she heared her phone ring 'Wings of a Butterfly' by HIM. she picked up the phone and saw that Sae ra was calling. Cosette eagerly opened the phone.
".......yyyyyyyyeeeeeessssssss?"
".........Hello!!!"
"Hi Sae ra. whats up?"
" Nothing I'm bored, you?"
"nothin just got out of class. what are you up to?"
"nothing much......Derek and I are at Brians. it's packed today. wanna come down?"
"...................nnnnnuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh I don't know........."
" awwww come on. pppppppppppppppplllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"AH!! my ear!........alright alright I'll go. I'm gonna go home and change first"
" YAY!!!!!!!!!! okay see you later bye!!!!!!!!"
Cosette hung up and turned the car on intent on driving home and checking her My Space to see if the Gorillaz or HIM ever returned her messages or if that sick fuck she spoke to earlier had responded to her.

Cosette walked in her door way and turned her computer on. She walked into her bathroom and turned the shower on and went to start up the internet and log on to myspace.Then went on take a shower.
A moment later she walked out dressed in a skimpy gothic nurse-like outfit. she sat down in front of her laptaop. and went straight to HIM's my space page. When she scrolled down there were thousands of fans commenting and sending messages to the goth band. She clicked on send a message. it took her to a near blank page with a small blank box for her to type in.Cosette typed in the subject of her message as "Dark Light" as she was listening to the song at the time and it was stuck in her head.The message read as such,
Hello Ville, Burton, Mige, Linde, and Gas
I wrote a poem for you. I hope you like it
Your warm arms around me
like sand of the hour glass
like the feelings that hurt me
and the tides of the mass
Death is so beautiful
with the winter of the moon
but what only makes it so
is that I will die here with you
sorry it's so sappy.none of my ex's ever said i was
pretty so it makes me very ensecure about my face
Loves,
-Nii
Cosette sends the message to HIM and signs off, she turns off the computer and heads out to Brians for the rest of the day.
***********************
It's around 8:30 pm and Cosette is just getting home. she's anxious to get back on the computer and check her e-mail and of course her my space, and she does. Then she logs in to my space again and there are three new letters. She checks them. two were from her cousin and one was from......................HIM!!!
"Holy Shit!", she said aloud knowing that no body heared that,"they e-mailed me back?!?!?!?!?!?" she quikly clicked on the message and read the contents slowly as if to savor the moment. It was a message from Ville Valo himself.
Dear Nii,
I love your poem. It's so quaint, passionate,
and simple. If I may, can I have your permission to use
your poem in a future song. I will, of course, give you
all rights and royalties to the lyrics. If you want to
continue this conversation I will be online for another
hour. Afterwards me and the guys are going out for
drinks and I do not know when I'll be back in to
speak to you.
Love
-Ville
Cosette's heart leapt in excitement. Ville wanted to use her poem in his next song. she quikly checked her freind page to see if he was still online............and sure enough he still was. she quickly went to HIM's instant messager and replied as fast as she could type.
Nii_Princess: Hello HIM
Ville: is this Nii?
Nii_Princess: wow! is this really Ville Valo?
Ville: yes it is. Please,my dear call me Ville
Nii_Princess: oh I'm sorry
Ville: it's okay. no need to be so humble
Nii_Princess: well it's that I've never met
you before and I'm just
naturally shy
Ville: why so shy?
Nii_Princess: well...........It kinda started
with the fact that I'm very
insecure about my face.
I kinda have a bad acne
problem
Ville: I doubt that it is THAT bad
Nii_Princess: well...it's not the acne thats
bad,it's the scars
Ville: do not worry. I have acne scars on my chin
that no one really sees because of the
wonderful make-up team we have.
Nii_Princess: wow...your lucky
Ville: not as much as you think, my dear.
constantly being hounded by every
woman on God's green Earth. It's
hard to pick a mate that actually
loves me
Nii_Princess: I see. that must be tiersome
oh yeah! the poem. you can
use it if you want. You don't
have to give me any rights to
it. It's all yours
Ville: oh no. I couldn't. I have to give you rights
to your property. It would be criminal of
me to take this from you
Nii_Princess: don't feel shame. I wrote it for you
any way. and besides I'm a fan.
not one of those sick groupie fans
that harass bands 24/7. your only
human, right?
Ville: ..........
At that moment Ville paused. He had never heard a fan speak to him in such a calm context before . She didn't up and wet her panties at the mere sound of his name, she didn't attack him like every other girl has. She treated him the the same way she would any other person she would see on the street............normal. He replied back in the same kind of fashion.
Nii_Princess: Ville? you okay? are you still there?
Ville: I'm sorry.do forgive me. I spaced out there for a moment
Nii_Princess: sure no problem
Ville: If you don't mind me asking...what is your real name?
Nii_Princess: It's Cosette
Ville: Cosette? thats a beautiful name
Nii_Princess: it dosen't suit me. I don't live up
to such a beautiful title
Ville: nonsense. send a picture of what you
look like right now
Nii_Princess: um.....okay
Cosette took a full body picture of her on her digital camera and uploaded it on to her computer and sent it to Ville. Ville studied the picture closely. She wasn't lying. She did have a lot of ance scars, but none the less her face was still beautiful, and so was the rest of her. She was still clad in her nurse outfit in the picture so Ville could see her shaply figure. Her slender frame was beautiful. He also loved her shoulder length black and royal blue straight hair, and her light mocha colored skin that for some reason, matched her very well. Her acne scars were minimal compared to the beauty the rest of her features held.Ville found himself falling in love with her picture.
Ville: Cosette, my dear. Your beautiful. how old is this picture?
Nii_Princess: I just took it a few minutes ago on
my digital camera
Ville: Really? but your beautiful. and I'm not just
saying that to make you feel better. you really
are
Nii_Princess: thank you......
Ville: your very welcome, my dear. Any
way I must find a way to repay you
for the beautiful poem. If there is
anything you want you go ahead
and tell me
Nii_Princess: well....can you come out
to Honolulu, Hawaii
for a concert?
Ville: ..........
Ville: ..........I've got a better idea. I'll come
out to Hawaii for a concert and It'll be
in your honor.
Nii_Princess: WHAT?!?!?!?! for me?
Ville: yes. as thanks for letting me use your
poem
Nii_Princess: Ville.....thats so sweet. I can't ask
you to do that for me
Ville: on the contrery. you deserve it. I'm sorry but I
must be off. I'll e-mail the dates to you next
week, okay?
Nii_Princess: um.......okay...and Ville?
Ville: yes, Cosette?
Nii_Princess: thank you
Ville: your welcome. sweet dreams,my dear.
<Ville has logged off>
Nii_Princess: good night, Ville
Cosette logged off and began to tear up. A rock star she admired was going to do a concert in her home town in her honor, and he said she was beautiful. Even her ex-boyfriends never called her beautiful. She wipped away her tears and closed her laptop. She couldn't wait to get the e-mail from Ville in a week from today.
**********************
"It's like time is going by slowly since I last spoke to Ville", Cosette said getting impatient. She was at home staring at her computer, looking at her friends page on her my space.She was looking for HIM to say that they were online.It's been a week since she last spoke to him and if they didn't come on soon she was about to go insane. It was 12:45 at night and she was wired off of 25 packets of Pop rocks and 2 cans of Pepsi............she was far from ready to go to sleep. Cosette has also ignored every phone call she got that day." lets see.....7missed calls from Saru to go with him and Akemi to the movies, 4 missed calls from Sae ra to go to Brians again,9 missed calls from that fat sorry excuse of an exboyfriend yelling at me for ignoring him all day, and 2 missed calls from Toji asking if I wanted to go drifting up on tantalis tonight",she thought aloud and apologizing in her head.She looked away from the laptop and guzzled down a few more pop rocks and a sip of more pepsi. when she looked back on her laptop and almost sprays her latop with soda. HIM was onlline and there was a letter in her mail box. Cosette quickly checked it,
Hello Cosette,
Here are the dates, my dear.
June 22nd till June 26th
do you want to chat?
-Ville
Cosette waisted no time and went straight to HIM's page and clicked on his instant messager.
Nii_Princess: Ville?
Ville: Hello, did you get my message?
NIi_Princess: yes i did. thank you. did you know
that June 24th is my birthday?
Ville: really? it is? well then this should make your
birthday all the more enjoyable
Nii_Princess: thank you Ville
Ville: Is it too much to ask if you could meet
us at the airport?
Nii_Princess: no. as a matter a fact i would be
honored
Ville: great! our flight comes in at 11:30 am
on thursday morning at terminal T3
Nii_Princess: okay I'll remember that
Ville: it's 8:30 in the morning here in Helsinki.
what time is it in Hawaii now?
Nii_Princess: it almost 1:15 am
Ville: you should rest
Nii_Princess: yeah.I think I should. well I'll see
you and the band in 2 days, Ville.
good night. try and rest too.
Ville: of course. If I don't speak to you again before my
flight I will say goodnight, my lovely.
<Nii_Princess has logged off>
Ville found himself getting emotional. It's not like he was engaged to someone else.It's just that he has never had this kind of attachment to a fan before. She was special to him, in some informal kind of way.She was beautiful, smart, likeable, affectionate, and (most of all) liked his music. Even though she is about 7 years apart from him, but he didn't care. Gas walked pass Ville on the bed and saw what he was typing on Ville's private laptop.
Ville: goodnight, my love........
"Ville, you talking to that Cosette girl today?", Gas put one hand on Ville's bare shoulder to alert him that he was watching him. Ville jumped slightly with shock.
"oh! um.....yeah. She just logged off"
"you really like this girl,don't you? you were never like this with any of the other groupies before"
" Please, don't call her that.She's not a groupie.I feel something with her. She's not like those other grils who just wanted to shag a rock star"
Gas smiled,and looked another direction as Burton, and Linde walked into the room.Ville looked at Burton as if it were christmas morning.
"did you pick up the tickets for Honolulu,Burt?", Ville asked.Burton could almost hear the anticpation in his voice.
" yeah. I got them.we're leaving in 6 hours", Burton smiled and started to walk into the next room where Mige was already packing his things. Ville turned around and stared at his now blank laptop. He had a sleepy, dreamy, tired smile on his face. He then looked outside the window at the scene of Helsinki at 9:00 am in the morning. Poor Ville hasn't slept in 37 hours and he wasnt going to get any sleep for another 14 more.
"good.........I can't wait to see her", Ville said falling asleep slowly.
**********on the other side of the world**************
Cosette was getting ready for bed. She was so excited to know that in 2 days, Ville Valo, himself and the entire band HIM was coming to do a concert for her, and Ville personally asked her to pick him up at the airport. She tried to find a way to fall asleep around all the pop rocks she ate......and she still couldn't get over that Ville kept calling her 'my dear'. she loved it. she even told all her friends about her talking to Ville, and now she was going to tell them that she gets the honor of meeting them at the airport. She finally found her sleep and her eyes drifted closed listening to 'Join me in Death'.
*********** skipping ahead to the good stuff**********
"Hurry up Akemi-chan!!!!", Cosette yelled, running way ahead of her and Sae ra. They were at the airport and already 12 minutes late meeting up with Ville. "are you sure your meeting the REAL HIM?, Cosette?", Sae ra asked while catching up with Cosette. Cosette was clad in a spagetti strapped (more like five straps) royal blue tang top, shotest of the short black mini skirt, and black and blue thi hi's. She was also wearing her super long black gloves and two necklaces (one was a choker with Jack skelington's head and the other was both of the HIM "You're My Haven in Life and Death" promise rings on a thin silver chain).She was dressed in her finest so if it wasn't Ville that stepped off that plane somebody was getting nutted. Sae ra was wearing a rainbow colored 3/4 sleeve shirt, short kahki skirt, and white high heels. Akemi was also wearing a black micro mini skirt, a bright pink corset, and a Armani Exchange black jacket with a keychain of a character from School Rumble on the zipper tag. They looked like the ethnical Charle's Angels (Akemi:the classy one,Sae ra: the peppy one,and Cosette: the gothic one) running through the airport and finally making it to Terminal T3.
When they got there the flight had just landed. Akemi found out that the flight had been delayed for several minutes so they were technically on time. The three girls sighed of relief and sat down together on the window seal. The girls saw the plane pull up to the connecting bridge. Cosette was hyperventalating. This was the first time that she was gonna be this close to a celeberty that she really loved (well...except for Johnny Depp)." This is the T3 terminal from Helsinki to Honolulu,right?" Sae ra hugged her to calm her down. "calm down,Co-chan", Sae ra let her go and looked at Akemi," He'll be here" . Cosette calmed down a little and let her breathing rest as she saw people coming off the plane. Every body that came off the plane flocked to loved ones all around and left but for some reason, it seemed like more people were coming. "Does that seem odd that more people are coming and less are leaving?", Akemi asked. Sae ra stared as what seemed as the last of the people were getting off the plane,"yeah that IS weird".Cosette started to get dissapointed. the last of the people were getting off the plane and she still didnt see any of the band members or Ville. She was starting to give up hope. She looked at Sae ra and Akemi, who also seemed slightly dissapointed standing infront of the gate, "do you think the paparazzi knows that-", Cosette stopped. behind Akemi and Sae ra, Ville, Burton, Linde, Mige, and Gas walked out of the bridge. "Ville!", Cosette yelled. Ville instantly looked up and saw her and her two friends on either side of her. The three girls ran up to them, about two feet apart from them, just bearly breaking personal space boundaries. Ville smiled at the girl in the center and stared into her eyes."Cosette?", Ville asked quietly. she smiled back and started tearing up. "Ville?", Cosette replied. Ville quickly dropped all of his lugage and ran up to her and wrapped her in his arms.
CLICK!!! CLICK!!!
Cosette almost fainted. Ville was hugging her. VILLE VALO WAS HUGGING HER. she couldn't believe it and he smelt so nice. She couldn't help but smell him. He had the scent of an angel (or what she thought an angel would smell like).She closed her eyes and let the tears run down her cheecks. Ville held her closer. 'She's more beautiful in person', Ville thought and he couldn't help but smell her too. She was wearing Care Bear purfume that smelt like strong french vanilla. Ville has never smelt anything like that before. It was intoxicating. He fought the urge to nibble at her neck. 'She smells like the falling rain', Ville thought as he put his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes, silently praying that he could stay like this forever with her.
CLICK!!! CLICK!!!
Ville finally let her go after a three second hug. Cosette's friends walked up to her and Ville and the rest of the band. "Ville, Mige, Burton, Gas, and Linde these are my girl friends, Sae ra in the rainbow colors and Akemi in the black jacket", Cosette walked up and introduced the girls. Sae ra walks up to Ville and giggles." Hello, beany guy", Sae ra says. Everybody starts laughing,even Ville. Burton, Gas, Linde, and Mige introduced themselves to Sae ra and Akemi.
CLICK!!! CLICK!!!
The girls and the guys heard the clicking sound for the sixth time and it was beginning to bug them.They turned around really quickly and said in unision.
" WHAT THE FU-!!!!!", everyone turned around in shock as they saw a bunch of cameras, reporters, and screaming fans. Ville's face dropped. He was afraid that this would happen. He was hoping to come into Hawaii quietly but it didn't look like that was going to happen. He quickly grabbed his lugage and grabbed Cosette's arm.
"Time to go.....now", Ville clamped down on Cosette' hand as he ran and she darted after him. Linde grabbed Sae ra and put her over his shoulder, picked up his bags and ran after Ville. Burton picked up Akemi and did the same. Sae ra flinched and reminded herself not to tell her boyfriend that another guy just touched her and was running away with her. Akemi was put on Burton's back and they ran not too far behind Ville, who was really close to the baggage claim. The Reporters, fans and camera men were not to far away. Cosette started to stumble. "Ville! what about all your other bags?". Ville gave her a quick smile as he ran and pulled her up everytime she stumbled,"don't worry. They'll send it to our hotel room". The group just made it to the airport exit and saw that there was a white limosiune taxi (those are common in Hawaii) and Ville and Cosette jumped into the back seat as fast as they could. Linde, Akemi, Mige, Burton, Sae ra, and Gas all pilled in just in time before the paparazzi had a chance to take anymore pictures of them.
"to the Double Tree Alana,my good sir", Gas asked the taxi driver. He didn't reply he just drove off.
In the back of the limo the seating arrangements were Ville, Cosette, Gas, Sae ra, Akemi, Burton, Linde, and Mige. there was an akward silence as the girls tried to figure out why the guys picked them up and ran out of the airport like the million man march..........then everybody in the back just started laughing. The rest of the ride was the band getting to know the girls a little better and a few HIM sing-a-longs all the way to the hotel that was on the outskirts of Waikiki.
They arrive at the Double Tree Alana. they all step out of the limo and pay the driver. the group tries to hurry and get to thier room as incinspicuessly as possible. They arrive in room 66 and lay their stuff down on the floor in the doorway of the hotel room. Ville flops face first on one of the two beds in the conjoining two suites. Akemi sat in a chair near the window that overlooked Diamond Head. Cosette sat next to Ville who had his face burried in the soft blankets on the bed. Sae ra, Mige,Linde, and Gas walked through the door that conjoins the two suites, checking out the second room. Burton started moving all their things to their respective places. Akemi got up and helped him. Sae ra walked back into the other room and poked Ville in the side. " so when are you guys doing the concert?", Sae ra stopped poking him just to see his reaction. Ville lifted his head and smiled. "on Cosette's birthday", Ville turned and looked at Cosette who had a face full of suprise. "is it really, Ville?",Cosette asked, unaware of the situation. Before Ville could answer, Burton replied," yep. just for you. We all agreed to it when Ville told us when your birthday was". Cosette was so happy. She ran to Burton and hugged him with such an impact that he fell over on his back on the floor. "thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!" , Cosette let him go. Sae ra and Akemi looked at her and cheered, "aw Co-chan!! your so lucky!!!!". Akemi smiled then instantly remembered something. "Oh! Co, Sae! we have class in 15 min. we better go". Sae ra and Cosette looked at their watches and freaked out. they quickly grabbed their bags and headed for the door.Gas walked out of the other room and glanced at the fleeing females,"you gals going already? do you need a ride?Linde and Ville could drop you" .Sae ra shook her head, "thats okay,Gas. We're taking my car. thanks though". the girls started walking out the door and said their goodbyes to the guys.Cosette was the last one out the door,"Bye guys! bye Ville". Ville stared at her, unable to blink. He didn't want her to go. She made him feel whole. Even if she was only going to class for a couple of hours, even though he would see her again tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that. He knew that he would miss her too much. Ville jumped up from the bed and grabbed Cosette's wrist just before the door closed, cutting him off from her. " Cosette"
"yes?", Cosette replied in shock.
"would you and your friends like to spend the afternoon with me later on today?"
Cosette smiled a partially confused yet school girl smile," won't you be busy later on today?"
"absoluty not, my dear", Ville said, sounding like a count.
"then sure. We all get out of class at 2:00 at KCC"
Ville's smile was barely consealing his joy on the inside,"alright I'll see you then".He let her arm go and let her leave. The rest of the band was unaware that he wanted to meet with the girls by himself until he spoke to Cosette just a moment ago. Ville stood there at the door. He didn't move, didn't flinch, he just stood there. Behind him, Burton sat in same chair Akemi sat in earlier, Mige and Gas sat on the bed, and Linde walked up to Ville who looked like he was staring at the door. He put a hand on Ville's shoulder and shook him slightly,"Hey Ville,you-", he stopped. he could hear quiet sobs coming from Ville. 'is Ville crying?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!', Linde asked mentally. he looked around to see Ville's face and saw tears running down his face that were bearly visable due to the beanie Ville was wearing and the fact that it pushed his hair into his face quite a bit. Linde backed off quietly and walked away and started talking to the other band members, and also lured them into the other room so that Ville could sort out his feelings in peace. Ville already knew what Linde was doing and silently thanked him.He had the entire room to himself as soon as he heared Mige closed the door.He couldn't get Cosette out of his head. He wanted her. No one else.Just her.She gave him a warmth that he had never had before. Without her, Ville felt cold and dead inside. No other girls made him feel that way, especially when he first met them. It felt like every song he ever sang, he sang them for her.He had sang so many songs about death, but none about dying alone........none about how he was feeling right now.'All other girls I met wither away in comparison to her',he thought. Cosette really was someone special to him and the very thought of losing her to anyone else killed him. He felt a deep pain in his chest, like a spiritual stab to his heart. Another tear traced a crytaline path from his stunning emerald green eyes, down his pale face. He walked away from the door and grabbed his guitar that he packed away. He walked to the windows and closed the blinds, covering the room in complete darkness. He sat in the chair near the window and started singing and playing 'Heartache Every Moment' and 'The Sacrament' by acuostic guitar over and over until he slowly fell asleep with the guitar in his arms. Finally, Ville was able to get some rest for his sorely troubled mind and heart while a single tear rested at his chin.
